Self-Organizing Architecture for Information Fusion in Distributed Sensor Networks by Javier Bajo, Juan F. De Paz, Gabriel Villarrubia, Juan M. Corchado

“…The management of heterogeneous distributed sensor networks requires new solutions that can address the problem of automatically fusing the information coming from different sources in an efficient and effective manner. In the literature it is possible to find different types of data fusion and information fusion techniques in use today, but it is still a challenge to obtain systems that allow the automation or semiautomation of information processing and fusion. …”

La correcta identificación del daño sanitario como premisa para obtener su reparación: viejos paradigmas, nuevas soluciones by MARÍA JESÚS GALLARDO CASTILLO

“…There are two basic requirements that underpin any claim for damages and that condition a favourable response to the claim for compensation: the existence of the damage itself and its correct identification, which is not always a simple task since the legislation does not offer guidelines in this respect and the case law does so in a disparate manner and not always with uniform criteria. This task of identifying the damage is particularly complex in cases of omission of informed consent, in wrongful actions, in the doctrine of loss of opportunity and in disproportionate damage. …”

Discourse segmentation and the management of multiple tasks in single episodes of air traffic controller-pilot spoken radio communication by Paul A. Falzon

“…From the analysis it emerges that in addition to the serial type of sequential organisations described by Schegloff (1986), there exists an alternative form of organisation that enables tasks to be managed in a quasi-parallel manner, and which affords controllers and pilots a number of practical advantages in the conduct of their radio-mediated service encounters.…”

A Spectrum Sharing Mechanism Between Narrowband M2M System and LTE System by Guoping Chen, Qingbo Du

“…Long term evolution（LTE）networks is an advanced mobile broadband network defined in 3GPP（3rd Generation Partnership Project）,to satisfy the human to human communication requirement.With the quick developing of machine to machine communication requirement,how to deploy the M2M networks with a high speed,low cost and efficient manner is the definite requirement in the industry.A low cost M2M network which deploy co-sited with MBB networks and shared spectrum with MBB network was proposed.System simulations show the spectrum sharing mechanism can solve the inter-RAT interference influence and ensure the acceptable performance loss.And the mechanism is low cost and technical reasonable.…”

GABA Withdrawal Modifies Network Activity in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons by H. Golan, K. Mikenberg, V. Greenberger, M. Segal

“…Following a washout of GABA, the activity was no longer clustered in bursts and instead, the cells fired at a high rate tonic manner. The effect of removing GABA could be seen as long as 1 to 2 days after GABA withdrawal and is expressed as an increase in the number of active cells in a network, as well as in their firing rates. …”

Tracing IP-spoofed packets in software defined network by Songjie WEI, Xin SUN, Rudong ZHAO, Chao WU

“…IP packets back tracing is to find the source host hop by hop from the destination.The method found the forwarding path of target packets and source host by adding probe entry into flow tables on SDN switches and analyzing the effective back tracing Packet-in messages sent by related switches.The proposed scheme can provide convenience for debugging network problems ,so that the network administrator can obtain the forwarding paths of any data packets.Furthermore,it can help to solve the problem of IP spoofing.Experimental results prove that the traceability method can find the forwarding paths of target packets in a timely and accurate manner without affecting other traffic or significant system overhead.…”
